When will the new ISM Raceway be completed?

The new ISM Raceway will be opening for the 2018 Can-Am 500 NASCAR Semi-Final Race Weekend. We’re already counting down the days, and we’re excited that you’ll now be joining us in this countdown.

Why does ISM Raceway need a renovation?

The existing track was built in 1964, and while the nostalgia of races past lingers to this day, we all can agree it’s time for an update that comes with modern comfort, convenience, technology and amenities. After all, you deserve it!

What amenities and features are being added to my experience?

Each ticket holder will enter the renovated facility and sit in a 20” to 21” individual seat, with cup holders. They will have free in-seat Wi-Fi with unmatched views of the track. Pre-Race will take place now in front of the majority of the fans between the existing Turns 1 and 2. You’ll also get a great view of Gatorade Victory Lane from your seats, but before you see your favorite driver ride in to grab his trophy, you’ll be in awe of the racing, which will definitely be shaken up with the new Start/Finish Line.

Other amenities and upgrades include a new Fan Zone, four new escalators and five new elevators to get you to and from your seat, a reconfigured DC Solar Fan Midway, a new pedestrian tunnel with access to the Infield from the existing Turn 2, new ROLL-BAR, completely renovated suites, new concessions, new merchandise stands and more Guest Services and Medical Center locations.

When will tickets for the new ISM Raceway go on sale?

Will my seat really have more shade? How do you know this?

The new grandstands will provide excellent shade coverage, providing more comfort for you and your family. How do we know this? We conducted an extensive shade study. Pretty amazing, right? Goodbye, sun burn! Think we're crazy? View the shade study here!

Why is the Start/Finish Line moving?

With the existing frontstretch being torn down and new grandstands being constructed on the west end of the track, the Start/Finish Line needed to be moved out of necessity. After all, we don’t want you to miss epic restarts and finishes. (Remember when Kevin Harvick was thisclose to beating Carl Edwards last spring? Yeah, we didn’t think you’d want to miss the next iteration of that either.)

What do the Drivers think about this track change?

We were just as curious as you. So, we asked Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and Austin Dillon what they thought. Click here to see what they think.

How will parking be impacted?

There will be a limited impact to your raceday parking. While some lots will be relocated, the majority of the parking will remain untouched and best of all, free!

How is the Pre-Race Pit Pass impacted?

The Pre-Race Pit Pass will be replaced by an all-new Fan Zone, which will feature views of the Infield that are sure to populate your Facebook feed for days. Let’s start with how you get there. A new pedestrian tunnel will be added underneath of the new grandstands, allowing for more convenient access to the Infield immediately after you enter the gates.

Once you are inside the Fan Zone you’ll have the opportunity to watch your favorite teams prepare their car for race day, with the ability to look over a waist-high wall and right into the garages – no glass and no obstructions. Talk about picture perfect! And speaking of pictures, you’ll even be able to watch your favorite drivers in the sought-after Drivers Meetings by watching from the outside through glass walls. Go ahead and make that funny face at Denny Hamlin or pose for that epic “look-who’s-behind-me” selfie.

You also will have the opportunity to see Gatorade Victory Lane celebrations from a designated fan viewing area. On top of that, there will be more concessions, more bars, more restrooms and more areas to catch your breath from all of the exciting raceday festivities.

Will my camping space be impacted by the renovation?

Infield Camping will remain the same through the Spring NASCAR event in March 2018. Post that event, the Infield will be reconfigured to accommodate new race Series accommodations and the new Infield Fan Zone experience.

While the majority of camping options will stay the same, with the removal of the Foyt, Bryan and Petty Grandstands, there is a new opportunity for camping spots. Individual spaces in this area will be offered with both Premium Track Viewable Spaces, as well as non-track viewable spaces. These spaces will not be available until November 2018, but pricing and additional information -- like how to make one of these new spaces your very own -- will be available soon.
